i support what the obama administration is doing here. but it gs to show just how difficult, how messy and for when the bush administration would make the point those senior leaders would say, it's difficult for, perhaps, some to understand what we're dealing with when we talk about this level. all natural security decisions are serious. but when we are talking about this kind of threat, we have to make at times very messy and sometimes uncomfortable and sometimes questionable decisions. so i think my point is democrats seem to now think back about how they conducted themselves and the questions they raised about bush administration tactics. i didn't raise those questions as aggressively as some of my friends did, but it's important everyone take a step back and a breather here, particularly democrats. >>> new details on the endearing political relationship between dwight eisenhower and richard nixon. >> that was a straight one, those two. >> yes. our next guest explores the two iconic leaders. >>> also, in the aftermath of the great rece

my dream obama would abandon the big government versus small government argument. he'd point out that in a mature aging society, government isn't going anywhere. the issue is not size but sclerosis. the crucial point is not whether a dollar is spent publicly or privately, it's whether it's spent on the present or the future. the task today is reform institutions and rearrange spending so we look like a young nation and not a comfortable seeking declining one. my dream obama wouldn't be just one gladiator in the zero sum budget wars, he'd transform the sequester fight by changing the categories that undergird it, he'd possess the primary ingredient of political greatness, imagination, the great presidents like teddy roosevelt see situations differently, they ask different questions. history pivots around their terms. >> you know, great presidents also question initial assumptions. i think a lot of people's dream this would be the barack obama we were introduced to as a nation in 2004 have been dashed time and time again. he doesn't see the country as one country pol
